I am writing to on you on behalf of the Association of Online K-12 Schooling.

We are very interested in partnering with your group for future conferences etc.

Our goal is to connect, collaborate and share with other K-12 Online Educators throughout the world.

Currently we have 90 members from 4 continents.

We offer over 40 Learning Communities (Over 50 members in each community).

We host free blogs using Movable Type.
We have developed elementary Cyber Planets for grade 2-8. These are essentially online classrooms. They include the courses we have developed, sorted web activites and communication tools.

The AOK12S, the Learning Communities and Cyber PLanets are housed in Web CT and require log in credentials to access the material.

There is a multitude of information regarding the AOK12S on our web site and further information reagrding Learning Communities, Cyber Planets and blogs on the Cyber School site.

Everything we have developed is available free of charge to our members and the menbership fee is also free at this time.

The AOK12S produces quarterly newsletters (One coming for December 1) and we are very interested in provding PD for our members.

Please contact me to discuss any type of partnership we could develop that would benefit everyone involved!

(1) If you haven’t already, download iTunes (it’s free).

(2) Open the mp3 file in iTunes. This will automatically force iTunes to convert the file to aiff (Audio Interchange File Format) and add it to you iTunes library.

(3) Insert a blank cd into the cd drive.

(4) In iTunes, drag the mp3 files you want to burn from your library “onto” the disc. Click on the “burn disc” button.

Voila!

Every presentation i have viewed has been great! Today I am trying to catch up on all I missed this week. My question…Can someone explain if and how I can get the audio portions burned on to a cd for my drivetime listening. I don’t yet have an ipod or mp3. Thanks!

I kept trying to use Windows Media player and Real Player to no avail.

If you don’t find the answer to your problem there post here again. Tell us exactly what the trouble is (what did you click? what happened? what type of computer are you using?) and someone will get back to you with an answer asap. 😉

Some are brief initially, such as a 10 minute video presentation, and some are longer initially, like videos or podcasts that are longer than an hour. Almost every presentation has supporting links with further resources for you to explore. Since most people do that in a non-linear fashion it’s conceivable that your personal experience of the “presentation” will last, hours … days … weeks … however long you like. But what you’re probably asking is what is the initial time commitment … anywhere from 10 minutes to more than an hour.

Derek: Thanks for the tip! 😉

Bianca: No. K12 Online is a non-commercial enterprise.

Nancy: Yes and no.

No one is looking over your shoulder however you can leave footprints (evidence of your participation) by leaving comments here on the conference blog, on the conference take away wiki, on the various blogs, wikis, YouTube pages, flickr pages, del.icio.us links, …… that the presenters have put together and made available for you.

Also, all the live events are being recorded. If you are present, and participate, those recordings will be a concrete record of your participation. We also have a frapper map you can add yourself to.

In the end though, the most important way to record your participation is through the comments you leave and conversations you participate in during (and after) the conference. Although this blog is the center of the conference, the content is actually scattered far and wide across the entire internet.

Scott: There is no registration and no fees. I like the way you describe it — “a virtual come and go affair.” Although we’d love to know a little about everyone who drops by. Drop in on our guestbook and let us know a little bit about you and what you think of K12 Online 2006!

Will there be any kind of certificate of completion or participation? We’re trying to get professional development credit for our teachers, and we need some way to document the time. Does this need to be done individually (honor system)?

This looks like a TERRIFIC opportunity–can hardly wait!
